The Kingfisher Incentive Share Scheme ('KISS') and Performance Share Plan are described as part of the Directors' remuneration report. Restricted Special Awards are granted as one-off compensatory awards granted under the rules of the KISS. They are nil cost options, as with the KISS, but do not accrue dividends until after they are exercised. Vesting dates may vary according to individual grants.

The Store Manager Incentive Plan provided provisional awards to store managers in 2009 that will vest in April 2011 and April 2012. There are performance conditions based on store standards and an award will lapse if these are not maintained throughout the performance period. These awards do not accrue dividends during the vesting period.

Under the UK ShareSave scheme, eligible UK employees have been invited to enter into HMRC approved savings contracts for a period of three or five years, whereby shares may be acquired with repayments under the contract. The option price is the average market price over three days shortly before an offer to subscribe, discounted by 20%. Options are exercisable within a six month period from the conclusion of a three or five year period. The International ShareSave scheme, which operates along the lines of the UK ShareSave scheme, includes eligible employees in certain overseas locations.

The last grant of options under the Executive, International Executive and Phantom Share Option schemes was made in April 2003. Under these schemes, participants received a bi-annual grant of options based on their position in the Group. These options are normally exercisable from the third anniversary of the date of the grant (up to the tenth anniversary), except where the performance condition has not been met, in which case this date is deferred accordingly. The performance conditions for all options have now been met, except for the grant made in April 2003. On the exercise of Phantom Share Options, participants receive in cash the increase in value of the allocated number of shares in the Company.

The rules of all schemes include provision for the early exercise of options in certain circumstances.

Under FRS 20, 'Share-based payment', the Company recognises a charge for share options granted after 7 November 2002. The Company has not repeated the disclosures required by FRS 20 as these are already included in note 30 of the Kingfisher plc consolidated financial statements.

The Employee Share Ownership Plan Trust ('ESOP')

The ESOP is funded by an interest free loan from the Company of £45m (2009/10: £51m) to enable it to acquire shares in Kingfisher plc. The shares are used to satisfy options awarded under the KISS, Performance Share Plan, Kingfisher Retention Plan, Store Manager Incentive Plan, International ShareSave, Executive, International Executive and Phantom Share Options schemes.

The ESOP's shareholding at 29 January 2011 is 12 million shares (2009/10: 15 million shares) with a nominal value of £2m (2009/10: £2m) and a market value of £30m (2009/10: £32m). Dividends on these shares were waived for the interim and final dividends.

14 Contingent liabilities

The Company has an obligation to provide a bank guarantee for £50m (2009/10: £50m) to the liquidators of Kingfisher International France Limited in the event that the Company's credit rating falls below 'BBB'. The obligation arises from an indemnity provided in June 2003 as a result of the demerger of Kesa Electricals.

In addition, the Group has arranged for certain bank guarantees to be provided to third parties in the ordinary course of business. The total amount outstanding at 29 January 2011 is £4m (2009/10: £4m).

15 Related party transactions

During the year, the Company carried out a number of transactions with related parties in the normal course of business and on an arm's length basis. The names of the related parties, the nature of these transactions and their total value are shown below:
